A saint of a mother, but she just does not "bond" with animals. But she gave birth to seven girls, pretty much all of whom love animals! Mom tolerated us having pets as we grew up but never, ever showed any attachment-never petted them, etc. Our Dad however, is a pet-person and he helped offset her "pet detachment."<BR/>Thinking of you as you navigate the painful goodbyes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-56733000341516418402007-06-15T09:29:00.000-05:002007-06-15T09:29:00.000-05:00"People who love cats have some of the biggest hea..."People who love cats have some of the biggest hearts around." - Susan Easterly<BR/><BR/>it didn't occur to me that "saying another goodbye" referred to the same type of loss you had so recently shared with us. it just didn't seem possible. silly me. of course its possible...<BR/><BR/>one may never know the reason your two feline friends left the physical world so near to each other, but reason there must be. that, i believe, is for certain. may the gentle grace and patience that only a cat can possess carry you through and beyond...<BR/><BR/>peace to you, susan, and to gretel, as well...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-13909804670580300432007-06-15T09:28:00.000-05:002007-06-15T09:28:00.000-05:00It is so hard to lose someone you love and who lov...It is so hard to lose someone you love and who loves you.
